The much-celebrated 1995 Oscar winner Leaving Las Vegas is available on DVD through MGM DVD. The film can be viewed either in widescreen or standard format. It is available in the uncut, unrated version that features additional explicit footage not shown in theatres and comes equipped with English, French, and Spanish subtitles and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. The DVD comes with the original theatrical trailer and a six-page booklet with trivia, fluffy production notes, and a list of the film's awards and nominations. The main menu screen is set against a backdrop of moving headlights and Vegas neon while jazz music plays in the background. Viewers who click on the playing cards in the upper right hand corner of the screen are led to a hidden page menu feature. This hidden page features "From College to Call Girl," a short list of Ivy League graduates (such as the film's star Elisabeth Shue) who went on to play prostitutes on film. The colors and sound on this DVD appear sharp and bright. Perhaps more detailed production notes or filmographies/biographies would have been appropriate, especially for an Oscar winner such as this one, but in essence, it's a decent package.

Very Disappointing

I usually like Nicholas Cage movies, but this one has to be his worst yet. The story line dragged and dragged and it ended leaving you to wonder what happened to him. I wouldn't watch this movie again - there was so much violence and nudity. The review on the outside of the dvd cover lead me to believe that he and the woman he met in Las Vegas both turned their lives around, but that was not the case. The only thing good I can say about it was that the chemistry between Cage and Shue was outstanding. The only reason I give it one star is because I had to enter a rating; otherwise I wouldn't give it any stars.
What's great about it: Nicholas Cage
What's not so great: Story line drags
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
